This book is a "how to" book on litigating a business torts case. While there are many aspects of litigating and trying business torts cases that distinguish them from other types of cases (personal injury, medical malpractice, or IP, for example), there are no "start-to-finish" guidebooks offering practical litigation advice unique to these cases.

There is a great wealth of diversity in the business tort laws of all fifty states and the District of Columbia. In addition to the very significant differences in the statutes of limitation, other significant differences include: Some states have not recognized a cause of action for negligent interference with an economic advantage. Negligent misrepresentation in one state is limited to claims against persons in the business of supplying information to others. One state recognizes a cause of action for andquot;strict responsibility misrepresentation.andquot; Another state recognizes claims of andquot;prima facie tortandquot; for wrongs that do not fit into traditional tort categories. And these are only a few examples of the more significant differences. The new 2016 Edition of Business Torts: A Fifty-State Guide helps you quickly assess the merits and pitfalls of litigation in any given jurisdiction allowing you to make the best decisions for your clients.
